The 2 quantity set LNCS 4843 and LNCS 4844 constitutes the refereed complaints of the eighth Asian convention on laptop imaginative and prescient, ACCV 2007, held in Tokyo, Japan, in November 2007. The forty six revised complete papers, three planary and invited talks, and one hundred thirty revised poster papers of the 2 volumes have been rigorously reviewed and seleceted from 551 submissions.

In addition, help is provided where needed on an individual basis and the number of problems is adjusted in response to the error rate of each student. 56 S. G. SMITH The approach of using a simulated experiment to establish the background for the theoretical development öf basic concepts is used in many of the programs. Organic chemistry students, for example, explore the effect of pH on the rate of oxime formation and ester hydrolysis with simulated experiments before engaging the program in a dialog about the mechanism of these reactions.

1. INTRODUCTIm~ In experimental chemistry a research objective is generally realized by a procedure that involves the follmving steps. (i) Identification of the phenomenon that is to be studied or the goal that is to be realized. Hypothesis of a model, or the outline of procedures that can (ii) be used to design experiments. (iii) Design or selection of the experiments that are to be performed. Here it should be noted that frequently there is a one ++ many mapping of (ii) to (iii). (iv) Execution of the experimentes) and collection of data.
